My new toy.

[Wafflesomd]

Hey, I havn't been here in ahwile, mostly becuase half of everyone here hates me.

Anyways.

I just bought a 12" Dayton Audio 180w sub driver, dual voice coil.

I'll be building a box here soon, and buying an amp, any suggestions or tips I may want to be aware of?

 

[Sheep]

PM WmAx and send him the T/S parameters of the driver. He can suggest a good box design for it.

Or, get WinISD and input them yourself and see what the response is like in different boxes.

Who hates you?

I thought I recognized that picture, you're on misticriver.

Why yes I am, under the alias, of course, wafflesomd. See ya round.

 

[Wafflesomd]

So sheep is telling me to make it sealed, not ported.

 

[j_garcia]

Based on the sig, I would surmize it is for music? If so, I would tend to agree with Sheep. Depends on the specs though, it may be better suited to a vented enclosure.

 

[Wafflesomd]

It's for music, I gave sheep the specs, he says sealed.

 

[Wafflesomd]

Ok, So I took Winisd and put in my subs values, and something strange came up.

I converted the meters of the box to inches, and well, here are the values, what went wrong?

These are meters:

W:0.157
H:0.230
D:.109

Inches:

W:6.25
H:9.05
D:4.29

Ok, the subs a 12", somethings wrong lol.

Half of me hates you? Which half? I'll have a talk with the other side of me.

Nice pics. I like the Dayton Audio line. Did you say sealed? What are you driving it with, Dayton, Bash, other?

If you are wiring it in Parallel OR Series:

21.25” x 13.13” x 8.117”

Or

A little larger than a 1 cf box Sealed

Wiring each VC separately changed the box size to a very large box.

I also attached the suggested box size from Dayton

 

[Wafflesomd]

I'll be wiring it in series.

One of my freinds said it is the most practical way.

Can some explain parallel and series wiring on a DVC?

It's just like wiring series or parallel with any device.


[+Amp]---- +|Coil 1|- --- +|Coil 2|- ----[-Amp] Series

In parallel, you could connect the amp wires to the + and - terminals of coil one, then connect jumpers from coil one to the terminals of coil two (+ to +, - to - ).

 

[Seth=L]

So would series be like this?

Amp + and - attach to first coil + and -, then first coil + and - attach to second coil + and -

 

[jaxvon]

So would series be like this?

Amp + and - attach to first coil + and -, then first coil + and - attach to second coil + and -

I put the diagram in my last post. It says "series" next to it.

 

[annunaki]

Coil 1 positive to coil 2 negative, coil 1 negative to amp, coil 2 positive to amp. Hopefully that is easrier to understand. Check out JL Audio's tutorials for a nice diagram.
